Any cell needs to constantly surveil and maintain the integrity of its proteome, in processes that are summarized as proteostasis. Proteostasis is a key determinant of ageing, neurodegeneration and cancer. Tremendous progress has been made in recent years in our understanding of the underlying biochemical, cellular and organismal principles. This understanding is now being translated into first approaches for human therapy.
The goal of the Susan Lindquist School on Proteostasis is to expose the next generation of scientists to this broad field, from structural insights to organismal consequences. It will contain lectures from leaders in the field, career development sessions and many opportunities to interact.
